Lanceros

I've found a new favorite size in the lancero. They seem to have much more flavor, burn great, and seem to last forever. I know there have been previous posts on different shapes and sizes, but no one seems to ever mention lanceros. Just throwing it out there.

Depends on the wrapper, but I generally agree with you on this one. I'll usually sample a cigar in a robusto or toro. If I like what I'm tasting, I'll try a smaller gauge and larger gauge version, to see if the meat of what I like is in the wrapper or the blend. In a Connecticut wrapper, I'll usually go larger gauge. With an EcSu wrapper, I'll go smaller. I used to think that I liked maduros in a smaller gauge, but I've found that the flavor is too overpowering. In maduros I tend to like larger gauges as well.

I'm a fan of the lancero and similar sizes, too. The only cigar I can think of that I've had both a long, narrow-gauge version of and a fatter version of, and liked the fatter one better is the Ashton VSG.

I hate the punctuation of that sentence.

lol... I have had a few lancero's and maybe I wouldn't have liked the cigar anyway but they don't tickle my fancy very much. Maybe I should try one of a blend I really like.

I do have a Lancero El Triunfado that I am looking forward to trying! I've heard a lot of good things about that smoke and they are pretty hard to find. My local shop has a stash of them in stock right now but I've had my lancero for a few months. They also have the Cabaiguan Maduro which is a pretty hard to find smoke also... I do have a really great shop right down the road!

Lucky lucky puro, I have to travel for 35 minutes to get to the nearest cigar shop, I don't even know if there is anything good there as I haven't been yet. California sucks for a cigar smoker.

I tend to like lanceros...well some anyhow. The Oliva V lancero is very good, but I prefer the double robusto, it works better for me I guess. The El Triunfador is awesome, just plain awesome, I really like it. I didn't much care for the Joya de Nicaragua in the lancero, but I really enjoy the belicoso.
